beginning to the end, and have understood all its contents. We learn from it that our friend is very sorry on account of the disturbances that have occurred in the country of Perak, and our friend bas sent Her Majesty the Great Queen's soldjers to punish the wicked people who have already fled. We know their names, for our friend has written to us and informed us that we must not receive those (wicked) people into our country, and that whenever we obtain information our friend has requested us to communicate it; but now no such men have come into our country, and we cannot obtain any information from anywhere. If they do come into our country, or if we receive information with reference to where they are going, we will com- municate it to our friend.
As for us, when we returned from Singapore, after having the pleasure of seeing our friend, we had a slight trouble in the matter of the River Bisut, which is under our perpetual government, ou account of the Raja there not recognising our govern. ment, and he has committed wrongs against us. Thereupon we ordered that the Raja should be summoned to Tringanu, but the Raja refused to meet our messengers, and has erected stockades to the number of 28 in all. On hearing this, we still sent men to call the Raja with a little force. Before our messengers could meet him, the Raja fled to Samarak, which is the territory under Raja Kalautan, and the Raja Kalantan took him into Kalantan, and he stayed there for eight days, and there he expired.
We trust that our friendship will be a lasting one, in rendering mutual assistance, and by corresponding with each other. We trust that our friend will enjoy long life.
We have nothing as a mark of our friendship but our best compliments.

8th February 1876. 14th Mobaram 1298.
We inform our friend that we have received our friend's letter safely, and have understood all its contents.
Moreover, our friend mentioned in his letter about the distress which has occurred in Perak owing to some of the wicked Chiefs who first committed the crime and after- wards fled for fear (of apprehension). Their names were Sultan Ismail, Maharaja Lela, Datu Sagor, Raja Enga, the brother of Sultan Ismail, Paugbima Kinta Datu Nara, Paughina Prang Samaoon, Rajah Mahmood, Pandak Indut, and others. Wo have only just heard this news from our friend, but we are as yet unaware where the fugitives went to. This is what we inform our friend.
In future, if any of them enter our country we will not allow them, as our friend has already reported to us, and therefore we will not receive them in our country. There is no doubt that we are friends with each other, and we hope the term of our friendship may last long, and our best compliments to our friend.

Nothing accompanies this letter but our best compliments to our friend.
